A MAN had acid thrown in his face following a roadside altercation in Thundersley.

Two motorists initially had a verbal spat at the Rayleigh Weir roundabout at about 11pm on Tuesday, June 3.

The same individuals later had a further argument about 15 minutes later on Kingsmere in Thundersley and this is when a 27-year-old man from Rayleigh had acid thrown in his face.

He is described as white, aged in his 30s, is approximately 5ft 8ins tall, is of skinny build, has a gold hoop earring in one ear, has short brown hair with short sides and a longer ‘V’ at the back shaped into a point at the top.

At the time, he was wearing a light-grey polo shirt, blue denim jeans, a black hoodie which has small red toggles on the ends of the cord and worn and dirty white Nike trainers which have a bubble in the heel.

A 30-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were arrested at their home address in Rayleigh on Wednesday, June 4 on suspicion of assault.

They are currently on police bail until Thursday, August 14, pending further enquiries.

Anyone with information on the identity of the man described is urged to contact detectives at Southend police station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
